Abstract

Sleep efficiency (SE) was compared in two groups trained in different meditation practices. Focused attention practitioners showed an increase in SE whereas open monitoring practitioners exhibited a decrease in SE (F=6.2, p=.02, d=1.14). The findings suggest that different meditation practices have differing effects on arousal.
